Today, I’m happy to announce that Dear Sports Fan has been invited to join Fancred!
Fancred is the world’s fastest growing sports social network. Being a verified account there means Dear Sports Fan will be one of the publications suggested to new users to follow when they join. I joined Fancred myself during the World Cup and have absolutely loved it so far. I’m looking forward to engaging with the Fancred community even more over the coming months.
Welcome Fancred people!
Dear Sports Fan provides accessible explanations of fundamental elements of sports, like “What is Being Offside,” that mainstream sports media assume their readers already understand. We arm our readers to engage in small talk about sports with the Cue Card recaps of yesterday’s top sporting events and to take part in deeper conversations about trending sport stories through posts like “Plot in Football: A Case Study.” Essays that explore the cultural context of sports, like “Sports and the Star Spangled Banner,” and some of its more bewildering aspects, like “Can You Help Me Understand the Playoff Beard,” offer light-hearted, analytical, and nonthreatening avenues for curious readers to approach sports.
Although the match between content created for non-sports fans and the world’s fastest growing sports social network may seem unconventional, we sports fans universally have people in our lives who don’t share our love for sports. Dear Sports Fan posts are safe to share with your boyfriend, girlfriend, moms, dads, siblings, cousins, and aunts! I’ve also found that some people who enjoy Dear Sports Fan the most are themselves sports fans. They enjoy our writing for its simple explanations of complicated concepts in sports they know less well, or our summaries of what’s happening in sports that don’t assume a whole lot of existing knowledge. After all, it can be hard to keep track of it all, from the changing distinction between a block and a charge to the current state of the Tour de France.
Whatever your reason for coming to Dear Sports Fan, I hope you enjoy it! Take you shoes off, put your feet up, and stay a while. If you’d like to ask a question or send me some feedback, you can email me at dearsportsfan@gmail.com or hit me up at Fancred!
Thanks,
Ezra Fischer
Congratulations, and I look forward to reading your enjoyable and informative posts!
